Today on Modern Builds I’m making a simple, modern platform bed frame from simple materials, using simple tools. I used 1×4’s for the platform and 2×2’s for the frame. No cutting things to width, just length… you could use a miter saw, circular saw, table saw, whatever you want!

Guess this bed frame will never have to be moved in the future. Hence, glued dowels.
Ooow my another teacher 5:30 minute
What type of wood did you use?

What type of wood did you use?
So! My son and I just completed making this bed in one evening. We had been looking at those simple metal platforms you can buy because we wanted storage space under the bed. We decided we would build a simple platform ourselves and came upon these plans. We simply added an additional 3 inches to the 2×2's that we cut for the sides of the platform frames, and extended the center support 2×2's accordingly. We also used the best wood glue on EVERY joint. It's true folks – the screws help hold wood together while the wood glue bonds the two pieces together. Do NOT skip gluing. Once completed, we added stain-and-poly in one. This morning, the frame looks great and is super strong! We used the cheap white lumber from (orange-colored hardware store). Total lumber cost was around $40. We did dig through each size to find the best pieces, but we also liked the small imperfections that added some authenticity to the final look. A great project, easy to tackle and the final look is great!
I like it, very simple but beautiful.
